Lois McMaster Bujold:
I’d like to wish you a pleasant birthday, as you join the rest of us ‘49ers. I recently baked a cake for my spouse - her birthday was Oct 26, and she wanted a peanut butter cake with chocolate buttercream frosting. She got it. I hope your birthday wishes are granted. (Obligatory: ?)
Lois McMaster Bujold
Thank you!
My birthday is going pretty well, starting with living to have it... Otherwise a nice quiet Minnesota fall day, remote relatives reporting in by phone, my son to arrive with fancy pizza for dinner in due course. My best present came a little early, with "Testimony of Mute Things" topping out in the 80s in the top 100 of the Kindle store yesterday. (Which commonly happens the 2nd weekend of sales, but still nice.)
